Why won't my Taurus battery stay charged?

A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night.

How much will replacing my Ford Taurus’s battery cost if I get a DieHard battery?

Ford Taurus batteries can be affordable, especially when there's an available battery coupon. The best part is every DieHard battery comes with a free replacement warranty and extra coverage with DieHard Assurance.

How long can I expect my car battery to last?

You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.

Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Taurus’s battery post?

If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your Taurus, it's likely corrosion. A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can create a white, powdery substance that builds up over time on the terminals. This buildup can interfere with the electrical connection between the battery and your Taurus’s electrical system, potentially leading to poor performance, difficulty starting, and other issues.

How do I remove corrosion from my Taurus car battery?

Regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals will help keep your Taurus’s electrical system running smoothly. Before cleaning, reference your owner’s manual for instructions on how to disconnect the battery cables. Once the cables have been disconnected, gently clean the terminals with a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag.
